Momma-mia! Now THAT could theoretically result in me possibly exchanging many supposed dollars for many highly conjectural kits! So what would the hypothetical frequency of the potential HPF be? Could there be any speculation about a link capability?

Thanks svart! I downloaded the schematic from a link on gearslutz: www.gearslutz.com/board/attachments/geekslutz-forum/310638d1348597202-soundcraft-ghost-schematics-ghost.pdfThe module in question is on page 12. I guess that I could also just use a multi-tester on the existing pot and see which pin pairs result in a change in resistance when I turn the pot. Hadn't occurred to me before...duh! Been thinking about adding some of Jeff Steiger's ACA modules somewhere in the master section but I haven't quite figured out where on that board I would intercept the signal to feed the ACA and at what point I would jump the output of the ACA back into CRM board.

I've been using a Ghost as the board in my home studio for a long time. I had the CAL update done on it in bits and pieces and it seems I've taken it apart and put it back together again a thousand times but I never get tired of doing it. Their cheap, they sound pretty good, they function pretty intuitively and - most importantly -you can modify them like crazy without feeling like your drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Then they sound really good! I'm sure there's gotta be some pretty creative mods folks have made with them over the years; let's hear about 'em. I'll start by asking a question; does anybody know the pinout for the CR pot (VR5) on the SC3628B board? I'm hoping to install an ELMA rotary switch instead of that cheezy variable resistor at VR5. I've been trying to figure it out from the schematics I have on pdf, but there's a large clump of text in the exact spot of VR5 and the information gets pretty garbled.

I'll point out that those three guys you mention are all great people and reputable sellers. Whatever they charge you for shipping will be a good fair price. I wouldn't worry a moment about purchasing from any of them. From where I sit if there were any questions in my mind regarding the integrity of the vendors I mentioned, I wouldn't have posted the questions. I have a huge amount of trust there! I was really just wondering if anybody in the US had run into any headaches with the shipping chain - particularly from Europe. Sounds fairly straight ahead though, particularly from the UK.

Greetings all. This'll be post number one for me on this forum. Nice to find a very "un-Gearslutz" forum with some DIY emphasis. Anyway, I'm in the US and I've been eyeballing these wonderful kits like the AML 1073 EZ, Sound Skulptor, Don Classics and I've ntoiced that these sources are EU based. it's gotten me to wonder how much hassle goes into purchasing one of these kits, by hassle I mean taxes, duties, fees or additional time involved in shipping etc.
What have folks in the 'States experienced when purchasing from outside the US?
